As a mom of 3, there is nothing better then spending down time with the family. We love to be able to pick up and go. Our favorite family destination is Walt Disney World, even as the kids get older. I hope to be sharing any tips I can about traveling with teens and adult children.

Our family spends one night together downtown every year. And every year, we stay at a new hotel. Keep in mind that we live in Chicago, so it is not like we are going to an unknown city. We know the area and we always have great plans to accompany us while we are down there.

This year, we stayed at The Avenue, Crown Plaza at 160 E. Huron Street. The location is chaotic at best, but where in the city is not chaotic. The hotel itself, it beautiful. When you walk in the lobby is not large like the rest of the places we have stayed downtown. But, it has an intimate feel to it. You can sit, enjoy a fire and the beautiful Christmas decorations.
